Deep Water Culture gives your plants easy access to all the nutrients they need for maximum growth, as well as a healthy supply of oxygen Deep water culture is a form of hydroponics gardening where the plants are suspended above a nutrient solution in a net pot and the roots of the plants are fully submerged in the nutrient-rich water below. These types of hydroponics systems, which can range in size from personal indoor gardens to commercial greenhouses, are beneficial to plants because they give their roots easy access to all the nutrients they need for maximum growth, as well as a healthy supply of oxygen.
	5 Gallon Hydro Bucket/Reservoir: Our plastic 5 gallon bucket is perfect for DWC and allow for plants to grow over 9' tall. There is plenty of room for massive root growth and can easily handle your plants from vegging to flowering. Both the bucket and lid are black to help prevent algae. 6" Net Pot/Lid: We use a custom made lid with a built in 6" net pot. This allows for large plant growth. Air Pump: This powerful aquarium air pump is designed for 5 - 15 gallon aquariums. The pump never needs lubricating and is rubber insulated for quiet performance. Pumps up to 1200cc per minute. 4" Air Stone Disc: The micro-pore design energizes your growing solution as it aerates and circulates the nutrients. You'll notice an extended life of your nutrient solutions, healthier plant roots and improved plant growth rate. 6' Heavy Duty 1/4" Vinyl Tubing: This is upgraded from the standard aquarium vinyl tubing. The color is black to help prevent algae.
	1. This system is designed for the final move of your plant.  You will need to make sure that you have root growth, such that roots are laying in the bottom of the net pot. 2. Fill the 5 gallon reservoir to about an inch "above" the bottom of the pot.  Once your roots come out of the pot and are dangling into the water, then drop the water level to about an inch below the bottom of the pot. 3. Select top quality nutrients, and change the water and nutrients once a week.  Once  you get a large root mass, you will just need to add nutrients and water on a daily basis. 4. Check you "ph" level on a daily basis.  You should have a ph level between 5.5 and 6.5, with 5.8-6.0 being pretty close to perfect. 5. One of the most important parts of a DWC system is a good supply of oxygen, so make sure you check the system on a regular basis, to make sure you have a good flow of bubbles. Here's an example of the type of growth you will get from this system:
